4. as a citizen I want
in plain language
know decisions made that impact my living environment
hold decisionmakers and stakeholders accountable
participate in the decision process early on to maximize
my interest
understanding the interests involved and the flow of
public money
6. Current state of democracy
Lack of accountability and support of base
democratic fatigue syndrome *

7. Big Data takes quantum
leaps
current profits for Google, Facebook
impact our daily lives
overrule governments (e.g. privacy and taxes)
shape society interactions powerfully
8. OpenGovernment
Jump as quickly as possible on the big data train
boost innovation locally and regionnally to
empower us all
‘let go’ -> build trust
data generated with public money should be open
